what are novel enzymes??

Question

Answer 1

Sorry to disappoint you, but "novel enzymes" is not a class of specific enzymes, they are just enzymes (of any kind) that have been recently discovered. They could be new members of an existing enzyme class, or an entirely new class of enzymes... Therefore, without putting youor question in the right context, we can't really answer!

However, if you google "novel enzymes", these are a few of the website you may find:

novel enzymes refers to those that are under research for various purposes or are being developed for for therapy and such.
